Need help using Compilations Commands clangd extension

pecan · February 17, 2021, 8:14pm

I’m trying to use the clangd Compilations Commands LSP extention to notify the server of command changes.
It does not work for me. (Windows 10). clangd appears to accept the notify, but still looks for compile_commands.json . Then fails to create a g++.exe command.

Could someone suggest what I’m doing wrong:

The short blurb at [url]https://clangd.llvm.org/extensions.html[/url] states:

<
New configuration setting : settings.compilationDatabaseChanges : {string: CompileCommand}

Provides compile commands for files. This can also be provided on startup as initializationOptions.compilationDatabaseChanges .
Keys are file paths (Not URIs! bug?)
Values are {workingDirectory: string, compilationCommand: string[]}
/>

I’m trying this by sending a Notify workspace/didChangeconfiguration like:

09:39:11.890 Content-Length: 708

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"workspace/didChangeConfiguration","params":{"settings":{"compilationDatabaseChanges":{"F:/usr/Proj/HelloWorld/HelloWorld.cpp":{"compilationCommand":["g++.exe","-Wall","-fexceptions","-O2","-c","F:/usr/Proj/HelloWorld/HelloWorld.cpp","-o","obj/Release/HelloWorld.o","-If:/usr/MinGW810_64seh/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.1.0/include/c++","-If:/usr/MinGW810_64seh/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.1.0/include/c++/x86_64-w64-mingw32","-If:/usr/MinGW810_64seh/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.1.0/include/c++/backward","-If:/usr/MinGW810_64seh/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.1.0/include-fixed","-If:/usr/MinGW810_64seh/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include"],"workingDirectory":"F:/usr/Proj/HelloWorld"}}}}}

Here is the resulting clangd log:

Are you writing your own LSP client, or extending an existing client to use this extension?

pecan · February 17, 2021, 10:52pm

I’m writing a client for CodeBlocks from scratch on Windows 10.

Using a disk based compile_commands.json, the client work great.
Now I’m trying to switch to the commands LSP clangd extension so that I don’t have to kill and restart clangd after adding an entry to the disk based CDB for a newly opened file…

HighCommander4 · February 17, 2021, 11:44pm

Got it, thanks. (And, great to hear about CodeBlocks getting LSP support!)

I’m not sure offhand what is going wrong with the extension. Will take a more detailed look later, but for now I wanted to mention that newer versions of clangd listen for file-changes to compile_commands.json and hot-reload the file, thereby relieving the client from the need to worry about this.

EDIT: I believe clangd 12 (not released yet but available via the weekly snapshot releases) is the first to have this feature.

Thanks. I’ll take a look at clangd 12.
Is it possible to use clangd 12 server with prior versions of clang. IE., can changd 12 be used with, say, clang 10?
Or will I have to ask users to upgrade to a clang distribution containing clangd 12?

HighCommander4 · February 19, 2021, 9:44pm

Building with an older clang (or even with gcc) while using clangd 12 (e.g. a snapshot from Releases · clangd/clangd · GitHub) should work fine, I do it as well.
